What is Inverse Trigonometric function ?
Inverse Trigonometric function In mathematics , the inverse trigonometric functions (occasionally also called arcus functions , antitrigonometric functions or cyclometric functions ) are the inverse functions of the trigonometric functions (with suitably restricted domains ). Specifically, they are the inverses of the sine , cosine , tangent , cotangent , secant , and cosecant functions, and are used to obtain an angle from any of the angle's trigonometric ratios. Inverse trigonometric functions are widely used in engineering , navigation , physics , and geometry . There are several notations used for the inverse trigonometric functions. The most common convention is to name inverse trigonometric functions using an arc- prefix: arcsin( x ) , arccos( x ) , arctan( x ) , etc. (This convention is used throughout this article.) This notation arises from the following geometric relationships: When measuring in radians, an angle of θ radians will
